Abstract

Let be an admissible set. A sentence of the form is a sentence if φ (φ is ∨ Φ where Φ is an -r.e. set of sentences from ). A sentence of the form is an , sentence if φ is a sentence. A class of structures is, for example, a ∀1 class if it is the class of models of a ∀1() sentence. Thus ∀1() is a class of classes of structures, and so forth.

Let i, be the structure 〈i, <〉, for i > 0. Let Γ be a class of classes of structures. We say that a sequence J1, …, Ji,…, i < ω, of classes of structures is a Γ sequence if JiΓ, i < ω, and there is I ∈ Γ such that Ji, if and only if [],i, where [,] is the disjoint sum. A class Γ of classes of structures has the easy uniformization property if for every Γ sequence J1,…, Ji,…, i < ω, there is a Γ sequence Jt, …, Ji, …, i < ω, such that JiJi, i < ω, ⋃Ji = ⋃Ji, and the Ji are pairwise disjoint. The easy uniformization property is an effective version of Kuratowski's generalized reduction property that is closely related to Moschovakis's (topological) easy uniformization property.

We show over countable structures that ∀1() and ∃2() have the easy uniformization property if is a countable admissible set with an infinite member, that and have the easy uniformization property if α is countable, admissible, and not weakly stable, and that and have the easy uniformization properly. The results proved are more general. The result for answers a question of Vaught(1980).
